Parents who drop off, please make sure you use the striped area in front of the school for drop off and pick up. This will allow a little better traffic flow in the morning and afternoon. Also, please wait for the thumbs up from our temperature checker before you pull off. It’s been a great week thus far.

BREAKFAST

DROP OFF/PICK UP:
Parents will enter Wildcat Drive and go all the way down to the turn around by the ag shop. If you wish to walk students up, please park in that parking lot (east of the school). When exiting, please take a left out of the parking lot. All students who are driving will park at the Wildcat Parking Lot. Can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!
We are going LIVE on Facebook in about 5 minutes with a tour of our awesome new school! Tune in!

MIDLAND BUS INFORMATION
The buses will be at the same location as last year, CR 3600 and 349 at the water pit 11 miles north of the loop.
-Pick Up will be from 7:00-7:15. Both drivers will be leaving location at 7:15 and will not stop or hold up if running late.
-Drivers will be doing temperature checks before students are allowed on the bus. DO NOT pull away until you’ve been given the thumbs up from the drivers.
-If you carpool, students who are running a temperature will return to the car that they came in. Please just communicate that with your carpool family!
-If students are required (or want) to attend a 7:30 tutorial, it will be the responsibility of the parent to get them to school at that time. Teachers will communicate this with the students and parents.
-Pick up will be 4:05-4:20. If a child is not picked up by 4:20, the drivers will bring the child/children back to school. You will have to pick the child up from the school.
A few things regarding drop off and buses:
-If dropping your students off, please use the attached map.
-If you would like to walk your students to the staff at the door, please use the east parking lot.
-We will be doing temperature checks when getting to school, please make sure that you get the thumbs up that your student/students are good before pulling away.
-Bus riders, your driver will be contacting you on what time they will be picking up your child.
-Students riding the bus will also have their temperature taken prior to entering the bus. We are asking parents to please be visible at the door or out front just in case students are running a fever and not allowed on the bus.
-Remember that drivers and passengers will be required to wear a mask on the bus.
We are so excited to see all of our students on Tuesday. Please don’t forget to tune in tomorrow at 10:00 to see a live tour of the school.

Parents: As we gear up for a great school year, please remember to label your student's items such as jackets, lunch boxes, masks, etc. with their name. This will help us get these items back to the correct student instead of sitting in the lost and found.
We are always excited to get new substitute teachers! If you would like to become part of our Grady family as a sub, please fill out an application and background check form and return to us. These forms can be found on our website under "Documents", or you can get one from the front office!

We know that COVID and the crash of oil have posed many hardships on our economy. If you are in need of help with your child/children’s school supplies this year, please call the office 432-459-2445 or email Lynsey Pardue lpardue@gradyisd.esc18.net or Sheree Woodward swoodward@gradyisd.esc18.net by Wednesday, August 19th at noon. ❤️
There has been some false information recently circulating on social media that needs to be immediately clarified. We want to assure all of our parents that if your child has COVID-19 like symptoms while at school,we, are going to isolate him/her on our campus (as we always have done in the past for any other illness), and will contact the parent(s) as soon as possible to come to school and pick up that student. Please see our back-to-school plan (posted on the school website) for additional guidelines in place once a student has been sent home.
PARENTS: A letter was mailed out this morning which includes our 2020-2021 school calendar, Return to School plan, and an At Home Learning form. The At Home Learning form needs to be returned no later than August 18 ONLY if your student(s) will be participating in the home learning model.
Just an update on the first day of school: As long as our PPE materials are in as expected to be, Grady ISD will be code yellow as far as masks are concerned. This will remain the same until further notice. We will notify if and when changes occur. Thank you for your patience as we try to do our best to protect our staff and students.
